Amadeus Integrates Business Intelligence Through New Strategic Partnership With KEYRUS
Quebec City, March 10th, 2005 - Amadeus International Inc. “Amadeus” (TSX-V: AML), premier global provider of compliance process control software solutions, announced today a strategic technological partnership with KEYRUS, a leading French consulting and Business Intelligence solutions integrator.
Amadeus has built its market reputation on its unique platform that allows regulated companies to electronically map compliance-related processes as mandated by current global regulations. As organizations strive to improve collaboration and harmonization of compliance processes, Amadeus recognized the need for business intelligence technology that would enable ready retrieval of compliance information from systems integrated with the Amadeus eQCM® product suite. Thus, KEYRUS will assist Amadeus in integrating business intelligence technology for its upcoming planned release in April 2005.
The new business intelligence integration will offer new, enhanced functionality characterized by Amadeus as “compliance intelligence” or the ability to retrieve mission-critical information from regulated business systems essential to the achievement of compliance across the enterprise. This enhanced functionality includes a compliance dashboard that delivers real-time analysis and information in a configurable web browser interface. Also included is the ability to generate custom, user-defined reports quickly and easily without programming experience and a comprehensive range of pre-defined reports in compliance with existing predicate rule requirements such as graphical trend analysis and statistics.
“Amadeus’ innovative compliance process control systems have changed the software landscape from delivery of point solutions to more strategic, cost-effective solutions suitable for today’s regulatory challenges. We are pleased to be a partner with Amadeus for this important initiative”, said Mr. Eric Cohen, President and CEO of KEYRUS Group.
“We believe that real compliance is achieved when organizations are able to retrieve “actionable intelligence” from their mission-critical systems in a way that makes compliance with current regulations easy. Our partnership with KEYRUS and the initiative to integrate business intelligence functionality in our product suite are significant milestones in our mission to become the leader in compliance process control, said Ms. Valarie King-Bailey, VP - Marketing and Product Development of Amadeus International.
